"Heh, cigars... do you really care about them that much?" the ´blackie´ replied. "Of course you can get them, it just depends how good you will be. Maybe from your target, or I will get you some. I don´t have any here right now." "Half-chewed up zombie is a bad term for what one can achieve through these arts..." the sorceress walked to him, caressing his cheek by hand with a smile. One wouldn´t guess she would be much older than twenty, but... "I am walking on this world for more than hundred years. Do I look like one?" she said. "That´s right. Either way, back to business..." the mage that brought Firrah there interrupted her. "The Emperor wishes to silently get rid of one of the older generals of his footmen army, Lenias Durrel." He took out a parchment and touched it with his bony hand, making a portrait of an elder man appear on it. "He arrived to Tenkuv from an overseas mission and was ordered to come to the Capital for a ´meeting´ with his Emperor. Leaving Tenkuv should be the last thing he does." "We would take the things in our own hands, but theres a small problem in it," the third mage added. "He got his armour upgraded by pieces of neeva spellbreakers´ shields. There´s very small chance that magic would hurt him." "And that´s where you could help us. Go to Traitor´s Watch and wait for the general - and get rid of him somewhere outside of the city." "He might have several guards with him, but that shouldn´t be a problem..." spoke Allegia, still keeping a close look on Firrah, "two of them will be mages from our organisation. We will let them know before you arrive. So... what do you think, gladiator?" Meanwhile, ´blackie´ took out something shiny from under his cloak, inspecting it by sight. It was a simple necklace, a small diamont hanging on a chainlet. |

“Nothing goes down better then a cigar and a glass of whiskey.” Firrah points to the half skin - half skull dark mage and says with a half smile. “What about him? Some sort of accident eh? In a cart accident? Being scraped up against the street cobbles.” His smiles broadens as he kept his continuous gaze upon the sorceress. Firrah puts on a more serious face when he gets told the mission. “Right, so you want me to kill this guy quickly, quietly and hide the body? Sounds easy enough. But why don’t you get your boys to take him to the dock, make sure no one is there, get me an iron ball-chains, I get it all done in one shot. I can get some dock worker clothes.” Thinking about several guards and thinking about how he would take care of them. “How many is several?” Firrah looks at the diamond necklace with a puzzled expression. “Ooh shiny, apart from a necklace, what is it?” |

"You just don´t get it, do you?" the half-skeletal mage grinned broadly, letting the part of the cloak covering his left side to be blown away by the wind. "Show me a person that would like to be hit in fight by either of these..." He raised his hand higher. All the way up his wrist it weren´t just bones, the skeleton of his arm was reinforced by iron - with numerous sharp blades and spikes coming out of it. "Ughh, did you have to do that?" Allegia averted her face from the mage. "It´s disgusting to have one´s body converted into a weapon. Spells are far more elegant way to settle differences." "Are they?" the mage grinned. "Anyway, Tenkuv is a lively city and its whole garrison would go after you once something happens to their leader," Allegia turned back to Firrah, ignoring the mage. "It´s easier to catch him on a road, he won´t be accompanied by more than ten soldiers. Why would he, so deep in the imperial territory?" The third mage took the ´necklace´ and held it in a closed hand, whispering something in kenthra. "It´s good that you realised its not a mere jewelry, warrior. It´s a way how to make sure you won´t betray us." At the moment he finished his sentence, a hardly visible silhouette of a person appeared behind him. Its image was like blown away in the wind from time to time, but it was still floating there, with blurry features of a woman. A ghost, looking on Firrah. |

“Letting someone hit you in a fight fills your opponent with confidence, they’ll start to get the foolish belief that they’re in control, but they’ll begin to crumble once you tighten the screws. But I do like those weapons, slip them out and stab ’em and hide it again. But I’m more into the concealed weapons, hiding under the skin, well you wouldn’t know that would ya?” Firrah smiles somewhat friendlily, it was interesting to watch the two mages argue together. “Three verses seven, not favourable odds. Where does he reside? I might be able to sneak in, climb through the window of course, suffocate him with his own pillow, then rig his blankets up and hang him, people will think he committed suicide. If you agree to the plan I’ll do it this very night or tomorrow night, but I will need you guys to post some of your boys on the doors of his chamber. If you can’t do that, oh well I’ll get over it.” Watching the necklace form a ghost, Firrah moves closer to it and squints to see what the ghost looks like, after a while he gave up trying to figure it out. “Who’s the ghost?” Firrah asks “I won’t betray you, because you can provide something I need. But how will I know you won’t betray me, but I hold you to your word.” Firrah tightens his cloak, bringing the hood and mask of his head and face, he adjusted his weapons showing that he was ready to head off. |

The half-skeleton mage grinned on the sorceress when Firrah said he likes the weapons. She only let out a silent disdained sigh. "That´s a problem. No current residence of him, he has been overseas for a long time," she said. "I believe he might be sleeping over night in Traitor´s Watch tho, so maybe if you could get in there while he is in the fort... our people could get you the necessary information or eventually help too, yes," she thought. "Not a bad idea." "It wouldn´t be 3 against 7. Nirka is a skilled banshee, and a trusted member of our organisation. She will accompany you," the ´silent´ mage said, handing Firrah the neckace. "Wear this." "You are familiar with the term ´banshee´, aren´t you, Firrah?" the skeletal mage asked rather in a way from which it was clear he will explain. "She´s an undead uncorporeal being, but she has her own reason and mind. If she wishes too, she can kill a person by entering the body and taking control over the corpse. She could help you in a fight - or act in case she recognises you turned your back on us." "You must understand us, we can´t risk anyone to spoil the plan," Allegia said, almost like she would be apologising. "But as Ngye said, she will be your companion on the journey. She will be working with you." "Plus... I can´t think of a way how to make you sure about things from our side. Can you?" the mage added. |

"Maybe we should do that, no one would suspect it was any of us, I do prefer bloodshed but if there was a proper outright murder this city would be under lock down, prying eyes and listening walls would be everywhere. You see I may be a barbarian, but I am a smart one. Every simple pleb that runs around this city wont suspect a thing and will just think that he wasn't happy." Firrah licks his lips "Maybe I should leave a note saying: 'Hahaha, courtesy of Silverfall'. That would be interesting wouldn't it?" Taking the neck he places it around his neck, but making sure the necklace that belonged to his mother was the most prominent to be seen. Looking at the ghost for a moment. "I know what a Banshee is, was she a human? I prefer working with things that have a name." Firrah grew tired of the conversation how everything had to be done just right. "Look, worst comes to worst, I'll kill the people who get in my away." |

All the three mages began to chuckle after Firrah´s remark about lock down of the city and prying eyes. "Hehe... I am sorry, maybe you don´t know..." Allegia tried to stop smiling about the thought, "our order is the one who is keeping an eye on the laws within the Empire. If there is an alarm raised, we can order our people to let you slip, if it won´t be too obvious to others. Even if they caught you, we may arrange your escape..." "I like the Silverfall idea," the other mage added. "Might result into... interesting events." "It´s Nirka." The banshee slowly ´walked´ near Firrah, gazing into his eyes. She spoke in a strange, oscilating and far-sounding voice, rather a loud whispering. It was hard to follow her moves by mere sight, the silhouette was constantly flapping, disappearing and appearing again, like a weak trace of smoke that was blown away yet appeared again and again... Aside of all of that, it seemed that her etheral ´body´ chilled the air around, nearly freezing her surroundings. "So... Traitor´s Watch, in two days? We will let Nirka know if anything changed. Do you agree?" asked Allegia. |

"But who watches you? There might be an even more secret and powerful organization watching you guys." Firrah looks at the mages, he was glad that someone actually liked his chaotic ideas, a wicked smile spread across his face, all kind of possibilities running through his mind, there might be a war, he might be able to join in on the fighting, his smile grew even wider. "I can't read or write so I might need one of you guys to write the note." Turning away and ready to head off, he looks over his shoulder. "I'll be at the Traitors Watch in two nights. Oh, get some of your people to bring me some cigars. Now I have to look for a roof to go over my head." |

"More powerful organisation?" This time the half-skeletal mage laughed out openly. "You´ll have to learn, dear warrior, more than you think." "Regarding the note..." the silent one took out a wand and swinged with it several times in the air. A small piece of parchment flew out of a pocket in his cloak and out of nothing, letters and a small drawing started to appear on it. "This should do it. It will be probably us who will be asked to examine the autheticity of the note, anyway," he let the parchment slip into Firrah´s hand. It had a Silvefall triskel on it - alongside an enscribtion in common iralthian ´for Illuiana´. "Hmmm... so everything is set. But, let´s do a small test to show you - go find yourself a place to stay overnight. Our people will find you until the morning, no matter where you hide. That should be enough to prove you that our eyes are everywhere," the mage grinned. "Oh, and maybe they will bring you some of those ´cigars´." ((add some greeting before leaving if you wish, otherwise here you go!)) |
